Tijuana to Long Beach Trucking: Port and Rail Freight for Cross-Border Companies
For manufacturers in Baja California, the ports of Southern California are where many supply chains start and end. Reliable Tijuana to Long Beach trucking keeps imported components flowing to the plant and finished goods moving to the world.
Mex-Cal Truckline moves full truckloads between Tijuana, Mexicali and the Long Beach Port and LA Rail ramp, supported by our own yard in Long Beach and four more along the border.
Why Port and Rail Freight Needs a Cross-Border Specialist
Port and rail freight run on tight windows. Appointment times, free days and container returns all carry costs when something slips. Adding a border crossing to that chain makes coordination even more important.
Working with one carrier for the full route helps you:
-
Avoid handoffs between a Mexican carrier and a U.S. drayage company.
-
Keep one point of contact from the terminal to your plant.
-
Control demurrage and per diem exposure.
-
Track the load end to end in real time.
Our Port and Rail Services
Long Beach Port Pickups and Deliveries
We pick up and deliver at the Long Beach Port and connect that freight directly with Tijuana, Mexicali, Tecate and Rosarito. Our Long Beach yard gives us a secure staging point close to the terminals.
LA Rail Ramp
We handle pickups and deliveries at the LA rail ramp, with rail containers and chassis available for intermodal moves.
Cross-Docking to Reduce Per Diem
Per diem charges add up every day a container stays out. With Mex-Cal’s cross-docking service, we transfer your freight from the container into our own trailer so the container can go back sooner.
Clients typically return containers 4–5 days faster and cut per diem costs.
Mobile Warehouse Storage
Need buffer inventory near the border? We store freight in dry vans inside our secured yards, with live inventory and photo records at every gate entry and exit.
